After upgrading the commserver and webserver to FR36, we were not able to access the webconsole and commandcenter. I could see IIS serverrole is installed on commserver as well but before upgrade it was not installed. I believe IIS serverrole should be on webserver only. and also i could see under the IIS server role “ConsoleApp.NetCore” is in stopped status, even after starting manually it going to stopped state automatically.
Folks, Does Commvault allow you to restore DB backups from a source SAP HANA DB server (SAPdbServer1) to the filesystem path of a destination SAP HANA DB server (SAPdbServer2) which can then be restored into the destination SAP DB using SAP HANA Studio tools? I can perform this type of SAP HANA DB restore as file using Azure Backup but cannot find the same feature and procedure in Commvault. (See the Azure Backup screenshot showing this restore)Both the source and destination servers are Azure VMs running Suse Linux (SLES 15.6) and both are being backed up as Commvault Virtual Machines. The source Db server is also running the CommVault SAP DB agent but the destination server is not yet running this agent. I could also restore these DB backup files to the filesystem of a fileshare (CIFS) mounted on a third server (ClientServer3) and then mount that same fileshare to the destination server to enable restore of these DB files using SAP HANA Studio tools. I’m currently running CommVault 1
Hello Everyone,I am planning for Immutable Backup Solution for exiting commvault backup setup. I am new to this type of requirement and due to limited resources on Immutablity in Commvault for Azure I am not able to present this solution to customer(Impact,Risk & Storage Cost Increase) before actual implemention. I have below questions in mind after reading basic documentation available on Internet.Appreciate your help on below questions ?Thanks in advance.Queries:1) After enabling WORM Copy on Commvault will create the Immutable copy ? Is there anything more we need to do from commvault side ?2) My environemnt is on Azure Cloud, Do we need to apply any additonal settings on Azure Blob Container (Backend Storage)?3) WORM Copy can't be converted to a regular copy if customer want to revert back then will WORM COPIES fully expires?4) Is the WORM Copy supported for Intellisnap SAP HANA DB Backups & Copy, AZURE VM Snapshot Backup, Cloud Storage Account Backup & NAS ?5) Will it
Hi Team, I am working on a report that we need for my own team. Our goal is, we taking laptop backups and here the "Privacy" option is the most important point in data privacy. I could not see a single screen where we can see/report the Privacy option of Notebooks in Commvault CommCell Console, CommandCenter or reports. For this reason, I started working with Rest API. I see two options with the two APIs below and accordingly my questions are as follows.1. I entered the same ClientID and DeviceID, so I assume that these two are actually the same. In this case, which API would be correct for me to use?2. No matter which API I use, it wants me to enter a DeviceID or ClientID. Is there an API where I can list all the Privacy options of Laptops without this dependency?API - ServerUrl/Device/DeviceID---> "isLocked": true,API - ServerUrl/Client/ClientID------>"enableDataSecurity": true, Or any suggestion how I can handle this would be great.Thanks for advance.
Hi Team, Is there a procedure to upgrade from 11.32 or 11.34 to 11.36?I had some impressions and thus the need to ask the following questions arose.1- I want to upgrade from 11.32 or 11.34. It is said that a system that performs pre-upgrade check has arrived and the latest patch for Windows and SQL Server must be installed. Even though the latest patch is installed, the error persists.2- As far as I see in the document, 11.36 only uses SQL Server 2022.3- In this case, when I want to upgrade SQL Server itself directly from 2016 or 2019 to 2022, I get an error again.4- First, DR Backup will be taken, then Commvault and SQL Server will be uninstalled. After reinstalling 11.36, the DBs taken with DR Backup will be shown to the environment, is this correct?
Created Metallic Recovery Reserve. How do I connect VM to Metallic Recovery Reserve? What are the steps?
We have 6 RHEL 7 and 8 VSAs that we use to perform backups through VMware SAN. For this reason, the LUNs are presented to the VSAs, which are also VSAs. However, the problem occurs when the administrators increase the size of a LUN. Our VSAs stop working; for example, if I try to check the pvs, vgs, or lvs, the command hangs indefinitely. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hi, is there any possibility to disable software compression an a secondary copy?In my setup I have a primary deduplicated copy with software compression enabled, for an additional secondary copy I need to disbale on that copy software compression and deduplication since the Dell Data Domain and CyberSense doesn’t want to have compression enabled.Here it is described that it should be possible to disable it, but I didn’t see that option.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.20/modifying_software_compression_on_non_deduplicated_storage_policy_copy.html Is there any possibility to disable it anyway?

Disaster Recovery Backup was all running well. Now there’s a job that has been running for a week, stuck at 95% and I can’t kill the job.The ‘Reason for job delay’ is:Error Code: [19:2198]Description: Copying of Disaster recovery files to staging location is in progress.Source: cvrvi01-cv, Process: JobManager There’s plenty of space on the local drive where the DR backups are saved. Permissions haven’t been changed.Any ideas on how to find out what’s blocking the job from finishing or alternatively how to kill the job so subsequent jobs can run without having to wait for this one to finish?

Hi Team,Backup failing with error “Error opening the disks for virtual machine [up0022alli_UCS_Central]. Verify that the correct transport mode is selected.”Initially Transport mode was: NBD. It will fail sometime, but will get completed using the same transport mode.Later changed it to Auto: Again its using NBD. Similarly sometimes failing sometimes completing.
Hey everyone,I have an EOL Media Agent1 set up for CM, and I want to decommission it and create a new Media Agent2. I’ve looked through the docs, and I see we can transfer everything manually or by using the Replace MediaAgent app.Since I’ve got 250 TB of data, I’m not sure which option is better. What are the pros and cons of doing it manually vs using the Media Agent app?Also, do I need to cancel all backups while I’m transferring the data?And, if I set up Media Agent2 from scratch and recreate all the jobs, can I still use Media Agent1 if something goes wrong?Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hello CommVault Community,When commvault (SP11.32) will support Apache Tomcat 10.1.34?https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/third_party_applications_installed_by_commvault_installer.html
I have kind of an odd question. We have a VMware file server that has the primary data drive (D:) set to be compressed within Windows. During busy times where our system generates thousands of statements, the files server sometimes can’t keep up and we have problems. The plan to fix this is:Run a CommVault incremental backup of the virtual file server. Stop CommVault backups of the file server Create a new, uncompressed 8TB E: drive Shut down the application so nobody makes changes to the files. Run a script to sync the old, compressed D: to the new, uncompressed E: Unmount the existing compressed D: Rename the new uncompressed E: to D: Reboot the file server and check the “new” D: Bring the system online Complete a business test of basic functionality Run a full CommVault backup and enable regularly scheduled backupsOther than ensuring that CommVault does not attempt to run a backup while all the changes are taking place, I don’t think there’s anything special I need to do to ensure C
Does anyone faced with license expired (1.1.1970) after commvault upgrade?After I upgraded the CS + MA I got a message about license expired on 1.1.1970 and it’s happen on the web only.

We are Service Provider and our Dev Team is writing a new Monitoring Script for monitoring the Backup Status of all Backups for each Server for the last 24 hours.They want to use the Python SDK. The Skript is working fine, only problem is to get a list of all virtual machines, because if a Server has no CV Agent installed and has only VSA Backup it is not in the Client list.So my question is, is there an easy way to get all virtual machine names of all hypervisors listed with the Python SDK, we found no sub-modul doing that. Thanks for any help and Best RegardsMarcel

We recently updated our two Commserve’s to 11.32.65.In both CommandCenter’s the “Jobs in the last 24 hours” tile now seems to not reflect the correct number of jobs for each category.I monitored the failed jobs the last days and it always stated 0 although when I go into the list of failed jobs it is not empty. The other minor issue I noticed in only one of the CommandCenter’s is that the Health-tile is loading indefinitely.The Health report itself is working fine as far as I can tell. Is there something I can do to reset the dashboard to fix these issues? Thanks in advance!

Good morning,I want to set up a backup of SQL managed instances, does anyone have experience with that? What I heard is that because we run on SP32 commvault that there is a limit of 200GB per DB. Is that true? Because configuration and starting of backup I get an error message that DB cannot be exported.I use the following configuration:For Cloud authentication: Entra ID account with access to storage accountFor sql authentication: sql admin account with sysadmin roleApp registration created with access to the storage account.Thanks in advance.

I thought I had this previously, but it’s not working as expected.I have a VM that has been replaced. The VM still exists, though eventually I’ll delete it an associated files. So I’d like to stop the backup process. My initial understanding is that you stop the process and then backups are retained until the retention time is reached.What I did was went into the option and chose to RETIRE. However, the VM is still being backed up. There’s also an option that says Do not back up. So I’m confused. What are my correct stops here to stop backing up and ultimately remove this device?
